De Zorzi was unbeaten at stumps on 141, with 10 fours and three sixes, and will resume alongside David Bedingham on 18.  Stubbs played a more conservative innings and hit the mark on his 194th ball by cutting Mominul Haque to the covers for a single. “To get to the three figures was a big relief, more than anything”, Stubbs said, adding it “definitely ranks as my favourite hundred”. Taijul Islam was the only bowler to make a dent, first in the morning session by removing Aiden Markram when the stand-in skipper went for a big shot and holed out to Mominul Haque at mid-on for 33. …

Published by Parlour News

A ship carrying 200 tonnes of aid approached the coast of Gaza on Friday in a mission to inaugurate a sea route from Cyprus that was intended to bring more assistance to alleviate the humanitarian crisis in the enclave five months into the war between Israel and Hamas. The ship, manned by the Spanish aid group Open Arms, left Cyprus on Tuesday towing a barge laden with food sent by World Central Kitchen, the charity founded by celebrity chef José Andrés. It could be seen off Gaza’s coast on Friday morning. Israel has been under increasing pressure to allow more aid into Gaza after five months of war between Israel and Hamas.

Mumbai vs Baroda Ranji Trophy QF: Solanki, Rawat slam tons, but Mumbai bag crucial 36-run first innings lead | Cricket News

Published by Webster

In his pep talks inside a closed dressing room before the game, Baroda captain Vishnu Solanki had stressed the importance of playing the quarter-finals and what it means to be up against Mumbai in their backyard. In one line he tried to sum up the importance: “I told everyone in the dressing room that agar apni kabiliyat dikhani hai toh yeh match mein kuch karna padega.” Scoring against Mumbai meant showcasing true capability. Baroda certainly came close to achieving this on the day at BKC grounds, and it looked like they would overhaul Mumbai’s first innings total of 384 when they started at 270/4. After all, overnight batsman Shaswat Rawat was looking dangerous and Solanki was choosing his strokes wisely. The drooping shoulders of Mumbai fielders said it all as Rawat cruised to score a decent hundred, finishing with 124. Solanki was seen telling his young batsmen to hang on and not let this one get away after Rawat’s departure. Baroda had earlier managed to post a crucial 174 run stand for the third wicket …
